My Mom has an amazing collection of stuff (not junk, but stuff). You need an Egyptian head piece? A graduation robe (she has a plethora of colors to pick from)? A bowling pin lamp? Puppets? Clown shoes? A balance beam? She’s got it! She just happened to have a pair of little Dutch wooden shoes in the basement that fit Audrey perfectly. Audrey loved them, and walked around in them all week. The nice part about it was that you could hear her coming from a mile away and always knew where she was.

Seriously, how cute are those shoes? She also enjoyed playing with the Babushka Dolls (while still in her wooden shoes) that my Mom picked up recently in Russia.

Oh, so many fun treasures at Granny’s house! To Audrey, Granny’s house must just seem like one giant treasure chest full of amazing things to play with and learn about.

There are two things about young children/babies that really make me laugh, and I currently have a kid to demonstrate each of them.

The first is that babies have freakishly large heads and little T-Rex like arms. Most babies can’t even come close to touching the tops of their heads. Can you imagine not being able to touch the top of your head because your head was so big or your arms were so short? See exhibit A:

My other favorite thing is watching a child under the age of 2 trying to jump. It’s hilarious!!! They just can’t get airborne, but the best part about it is that they think they are doing it. Here’s a video of Audrey demonstrating her mad “jumping” skills.
